Descriptiontext

CIV is a private investment firm that backs and builds technology companies in critical industries, specifically automation, energy, manufacturing, and supply chain, with a stated target of a $70 trillion U.S. market opportunity by 2050. The firm operates a dual model: deploying capital into existing companies and incubating new companies through a Founders-in-Residence Build Program when category-defining opportunities do not yet exist. CIV is headquartered in Venice Beach, California, at 901 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, and is legally domiciled as CIV Investment Management, LLC in Delaware.

CIV launched in 2024-2025 with its inaugural CIV Fund One, which closed in April 2025 with over $210 million in limited partner commitments. The founding team comprises Co-Founder and CEO Patrick Maloney (previously founder of Inspire, acquired by Shell, and co-founder of Independence Energy and Energy Plus, both acquired by NRG); Co-Founder and Managing Partner Jeff Rosenthal (co-founder of Summit and co-owner of Powder Mountain, with 50+ angel investments including SpaceX, Uber, Warby Parker, Scopely, and Devoted Health); and Co-Founder and Managing Partner Abhijoy Mitra (previously General Partner at Coatue, an approximately $60 billion platform, and Vice President at Valor Equity Partners). The operating bench adds coverage in policy (Josh Zoffer, former White House Special Assistant for Economic Policy and Treasury Senior Advisor), legal and compliance (Stephanie Donner, former CEO/CLO of Inspire), creative (Andrew Zuckerman, former Apple creative director), and operations (Dan Bell, ex-Expedia and Inspire), plus investor-builders from Silver Lake, Lazard, and Hyperloop One.

CIV's value proposition to founders bundles capital with operational, policy, creative, legal, and talent support, and the firm actively accesses the proprietary MasonOS AI manufacturing platform through portfolio company Isembard. The disclosed portfolio of approximately 18 companies spans nuclear (The Nuclear Company), aerospace manufacturing (Senra Systems), battery storage (Base), AI data centers (Giga Energy), AI-powered precision manufacturing (Isembard), AI system integration (Turgon AI), transferable tax credits (Crux), AI observability for machines (Sift), robotics and seafood processing (Shinkei), distributed generation orchestration (AGent), sovereign AI for Middle East infrastructure (1001), clean energy procurement (Verse), AI-native construction (Unlimited Industries), modular biomanufacturing (General Biological), LatAm neocloud (APD), mundane-task robotics (Mundane), COBOL modernization (Hypercubic), and AI-driven cybersecurity (ArgusEye). Investments are concentrated in the US with active positions in the UK (Isembard) and the GCC (1001 AI), and CIV typically participates as lead or co-lead alongside top-tier firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, Lux Capital, Coatue-adjacent syndicates, and StepStone.
